Benghazi - What's The Worst You Can Imagine?

I submit that however bad you imagine it is, it's at least that bad, probably much worse, and I believe I can make a convincing case to support that argument.

I'm not going to go too deep into the weeds on this, because you need to decide whether my perspective holds water.

Remember when there was speculation about the underlying factors behind the Benghazi coverup. For inexplicable reasons, that speculation stopped some time ago. The two main ideas being floated immediately after Benghazi went down were a gun running operation to the Syrian rebels, and the second was a staged kidnapping in order to justify an exchange of the Blind Sheik that went horribly wrong. I actually believe there were other possible operations gone wrong that centered around the type (wmd) weapons involved.

Right now, the administration is probably giddy that the Benghazi investigation has been very superficial in nature and that it has been centered around the 'narrative' that the administration only wanted to obscure the Benghazi details until after the election in order to not negatively impact Obama's chances.

This idea may have held water a week ago, but no longer. If the coverup had only been about the 'narrative' then the administration would have certainly came out immediately after the election with all of the proof that would have put this scandal to bed. That they didn't, and haven't since then essentially screams that the scandal underlying Benghazi is worse, and probably much worse than we can possibly imagine.

One needs to also consider all of the mass of coincidental incidents that have happened since Benghazi went down, e.g.; all of the senior military figures being ousted, Hillary Clinton being sent to the far reaches of the planet... there are others, you know what they are. Add all of this together, and the argument that the coverup is all about the 'narrative' loses all credence.

If this scandal is allowed to progress with the focus being on the 'narrative', I would be extremely skeptical about the people helping to push this, no matter what side of the aisle they are on. I think that what happened in Benghazi at best, was a kidnapping gone wrong and on the other hand, was as bad as you can possibly imagine – for the U.S. and for “our best ally in the region.”
